About this creation

AEGAKS was devised by Jason Dominguez aka rabid goldfish

This is the AT10-XS, a vastly more agile incarnation of the AT6-a. Like its heavy armoured predecessor the AT7, the AT10 features a brand new frame, made for speed and kept deliberately light and mobile.

Taking advantage of its speed the AT10-XS (better known as Sapphire) is armed with two long handled swords that can be combined to form a single double ended lance style weapon.

Piloted by an expert martial artist and swords man, he can utilities the AEGAKS interface to make his mecha move with ninja like grace. Even without stealth capabilities few can see this guy coming before their end arrives.

Creator Notes:

Thanks first of all to Jason Domingues for his fantastic concept of the AEGAKS system, I've spent a fun weekend playing around with some new ideas as to how I could improve on my earlier addition to the concept.

I hasten to add that the shape of this latest design owes a great deal to the Eldar mecha from Warhammer 40,000.

The cockpit is the same one from all my previous designs, I may design a new one from scratch if I give it another go. The body design and limbs are all brand new (though I have borrowed the method used in the official Lego set 8103 (sky guardian) to enable the figure to hold his weapons.

A big warning for anyone downloading the instructions. At the moment LDD is not allowing me to move some of the ball joints, I have no idea why as there are absolutely NO clearance issues. I suspect the problem may be isolated to my computer but other people have mentioned a similar problem.

Update

The AT10-XL "Sapphire" minor modification of the AT10-XS

Note:

Changed the leg design to make it look a bit less twig like. Also some shots showing the weapons combined.

Quoting Rabid Goldfish Looks better. The new thighs give it a distinctive look. Now all you need to do is build a hedgehog head (say that five time real fast.) No? Alright then, it looks great. ^Blub^

yep, I spotted the sonic thing straight away (even subtly continued the theme with the onyx which is definitely a shadow parody)

The updated version is great! I loved the trident thing (Yes, I know it only have two points...)

Quoting Rabid Goldfish You know, this looks a bit like a certain speedy blue hedge that well all know. Aside from the spindly thighs, it looks good. As for the ball joint glitch: If LDD determines that there are too many pieces attached to the joint, it won't give you the hinge option. Even if there are no clearnace issues, and the joint would feasibly work in real life, it won't do it. Multi-select all the parts off the joint, and it should move freely again. Once you've found the position you want, multi-select all the parts again and replace them on the joint. I hope this helps. ^Blub^

took on board what you said and changed the upper leg. let me know what you think.

Quoting Mithryl Dlarix Sonic the Hedgehog was a good comparison. This looks really cool. 90% of the time that I was having trouble moving joints of any kind, it turned out that there was a piece that was not attached to anything, somewhere, and was acting as a clearance obstacle. Make sure you check all the pieces to make sure they are attached properly. ALso, you may want to consider moving to LDD 3 and unlocking the universe theme. LDD 3 doesn't really have these same problems.

I'll certainly consider it. Strange that LEGO haven't done something about it as I'm not the only person moaning that the hinge tool is defective in the latest version. Ho well. By the way, I've made some modifications.

mmm yeah, I wanted the thighs to look lean, but maybe for the scale they are a little too thin. Almost cartoon like. I hadn't realised it looked like sonic, perhaps because the blue was a last minute change.
